    prolly less than a third is rideable.
    I may have to grow old, but I'll never have to grow up.

    I was out there Wed. afternoon with Steve and Hansi. I would say none of the island is rideable. Not worth taking bike out there fo sho.
    You'd understand if you know what I was talking about.

    Here's the Island's West Side at about 15.34 Feet:


    Here's the Island at about 20.2 feet:





    I couldn't get to the same spot that I took the 15 foot picture from, not even close. Pretty much any low lying area on the Island has taken on water, I don't see how someone could put together a rideable loop anywhere without going through a foot of water at some point.

    It would have to be a short loop, and we'd need to see if we could borrow molines docks... And everyone elses, too!!!

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.
